27 June - 27 July 2012
The men succeed in creating a dynamic and fresh expression of their tjurkurpa (Dreaming), through a vibrant colour palette and stylistic experimentation; and through the use of striking imagery in their paintings to depict their ngurra (country) in a celebration of their Anangu culture, both past and present.
- Beverly Knight 2012
Our paintings may be beautiful but our culture comes first. We have learned our way from men before us and now Hector, Mick, Barney, Willy, Stanley, Lee & I teach the next men. We lost an important man recently Tiger Kunmanara. He was strong in law and culture like the men in this exhibition. We are thinking of Kunmanara with this exhibition...Painting the trees came from an idea the men shared, an idea to protect our law and culture, the trees mark the fence. We started painting the trees last year for this reason. Our culture comes first, it is the most important thing, it is everything for Anangu.
